Ridgewood Guild International Film Festival Kicks off 2019 Season with “An Evening with Oscar” Fundraiser to Benefit Film Festival

Ridgewood NJ – To kick off the film festival, The Ridgewood Guild International Film Festival is holding it’s annual “An Evening With Oscar” party on February 22nd at Park West Loft, 38 Oak Street in Ridgewood from 7:30 – 11:30pm. This fun event is open to the public and is filled with excitement, movie trivia, people in the film business and fine food and drink. Guests also get to walk the “Red Carpet” and pose for photos. The public is invited. There will also be dancing and a trivia and a costume contest with some great prizes from local businesses. You can dress as your favorite Oscar nominated character, or dress formally. The cost is $65 per person, which includes a two-hour open bar, passed hors d’oeuvres, pasta station, salad and dessert. Committee member Jim Suozzo says, “You’ll have a good time and meet people you may not have met otherwise. Most importantly, you will be supporting the arts in this community.” The party is sponsored by Super Cellars and Pearl Restaurant. The event is a fundraiser for the festival which awards prizes in several genres of film and also gives a $500 scholarship to the director of the best film by a student.

The successful and growing Ridgewood Guild International Film Festival is going into its 9th year. Last year the festival hosted a film premiere, known actors, foreign films, shorts and movies and music videos by local and regional filmmakers. This well-known film festival is being internationally recognized for its hospitality. This year on tap are some recognizable film actors, Hollywood producers, TV stars and some surprises. The festival takes place in Ridgewood and is very reasonably-priced compared to other festivals. For updated information visit https://ridgewoodguildfilmfest.com/.
